Welcome to the PisteHors.com forum. A place to discuss backcountry ski and snowboard touring and equipment as well as hiking, climbing and mountain biking. First of all why add a forum? Well people have been asking us for this space for three years. We’d originally resisted as there are some pretty good forums out there:

However over the last 12 months it has become obvious from your feedback that what was lacking was a ski (and board) forum oriented towards European off-piste and backcountry. A place where you can relax and chat about trips and snow conditions. Exchange avalanche information and discuss the latest gear. It will also give us a place to post articles which don’t fit on the front page.

We are not launching the forum officially until the autumn but if you are already a PisteHors.com member you can post to the forums.

If you have ideas for other group headings or improvements post them below.
